Our apartment – 2016 NSFW

It's been not only a long time since I've posted here, but it has been a long time since I shared photos of my place. The last time you guys saw where I lived I was still living at home with my parents. It was back in 2012, so easily 4 years ago you saw my collection. Now you can see not only has my… [more]

[Alter] – Melty Review

So since I've moved into my new apartment I still hadn't set up my photography studio. Seems work has me busier than I thought I would ever be, however I took some time this past weekend to set up my studio so I could take some photos of my latest purchase, Alter's 1/8th Melty from Shining Hearts.

[Orchid Seed] – Yuki Review NSFW

Pre-ordered this figure the moment she was released for pre-order. I needed for for multiple reasons, she's sexy/half naked, plus while she's not Sora she reminds me of Sora from Yosuga no Sora! But she's Yuki from Maid Yome and she's pretty amazing.
The only issue is her adorable mouth really looks… [more]

Nendoroid Storage Container

I recently went on a trip to a magical place, The Container Store. Ok it's not really magical, but I happen to have discovered a love for organizing my home. I tend to prefer Ikea and Daiso but we went to The Container Store on a whim and I discovered this lovely storage container! I've been needing… [more]

One of my first posts on this blog was about my leaning Saber Swimsuit figure. I bought her at a local anime shop on impulse and was so excited when i got her. She’s a very cute and figure and so nicely detailed. but after an accident she’s been leaning ever since…

She is truly such an amazing figure and i was devastated when she started leaning. Now the hot water treatment i applied did work for a while.

Now the major problem and the reason why she started to lean was that i had her on a shelf in front of a window. My mom came in and opened the window and the wind knocked her down and broke her off her base, which also broke the base. Now i was able to glue her back on but since she wasn’t placed on the base properly and she started leaning even worse.

Now i pretty much had her off her base and sitting on a shelf trying to figure out a way to fix her. I came up with the idea to get a custom base! I got the base through E2046.com and then make a hole in her leg and screw her to the base.

In the end I’m very pleased on the final result. I was terrified when my dad showed me how we would drill into her leg. then when he made me do it myself! I nearly crapped my pants when the drill went into her leg but it went in so smoothly and it worked so well! Now so far she’s not leaning and is looking good. I’ll make sure to keep you all updated on whether or not she leans again.

wow. have the same problem with my fauna. her base broke and ever super glue is unable to stick it together. i think i need to get some tamiya cement to fix the base now.
right now she’s standing upright with the help of my pc monitor.
good to know everything went well for you.

I couldn’t use a screw because I wanted to be able to put it back into the box for storage and because I needed something a bit longer.

I went with a steel clothes hanger; specifically the one that dry cleaning companies use to hang pants. Because it was stronger and wouldn’t easily bend, I drilled a 3/8th deep hole into the base and used that portion as a mount and added support.

I totally understand your nervousness; drilling the 2 1/2 inches up the leg was COMPLETELY nerve wracking. It must have taken me 10 minutes to finish because I kept stopping to check the angle and look for signs of the bit popping through.

Hey- wait a sec, you guys(Dancing Queen & 6pac) are talking about how your Fauna base broke?! Which one are you talking about, the cast off figure or the floating figure from ALTER? I just bought the floating figure from ALTER and I don’t want that base to break!

@Spirit Rubi:
what i notice lately about figures is that if they are on one foot and are from the top companies they don’t lean, they focus a lot in making sure they don’t since they know being on one leg is risky. But sometimes with figures on two legs they don’t focus so much on leaning and they end up leaning. But then mine did break from her base ruining her balance

@rishidan:
yeah i wanted to go for a pin but in the end i felt a screw would be much more secure.

@Uzumakiworld:
i’m referring to my Max Factory Fauna with the cast off feature. I was playing cast off while she was still attached to her base and my hand slipped and the peg off in her foot.

I, think this figur is cute… and the little carictor she is holding remind’s me of mr frosty… it woulld be nice if they maid a mini mr frosty to mach in that carictor she is holding. Rowan of hook sk8t from team 96
